We experience Mercury retrograde three times in 2006. Because 2006 is universally an EIGHT year (in numerology), the Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the adjustments required for our outer journey toward success. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and decisions about our direction. The adjustments that are slated to occur in 2006 are in water signs, Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.

These water signs of the zodiac and relates to our emotional status and the inner world we carry with us. This emotional and inner self become the perspective that we see all situations through and only when we are able to feel security within our self do we venture out to understand the emotional and inner self of another. Most of the time we have our emotional reactions to situations and we seek to find emotional stability any way we can, rather than to address the issue of why we have chosen a particular emotional response. Changing our emotional response can often change the situation and allow us to grow and emerge more of our true inner spiritual being.

The Mercury retrogrades that are occurring this year provide the opportunities for us to show our true inner self, our true inner essence and to display the contents of our spiritual cupboards. The success that is destined to occur this year will not be determined by words and other shallow communications, but by the x-ray vision of qualities, ethics and abilities that have their roots in our spiritual cupboard. The changes, revisions and adjustments that occur during these Mercury retrograde time frames will have a major impact in the chutes and ladder events of 2006.

Mercury relates to thoughts, concepts, ideas, and communication. When Mercury retrogrades, we find that many parts of our life are being revised. Often these revisions can be a surprise or throw us back a step. However, these revisions which occur during a Mercury retrograde, are a "course correction” and provide a stop gap measure until we can review situations. During this time of revision, change is compounded and confusion is created by our reactions to the ever-changing situations. Thus anything started during this time will ultimately be taken back or even revised further, making for a high-frustration time.

The best mode to be in during a Mercury retrograde is one of "non-reaction". Treat the time period as a time of gathering information, yet because the information will be in constant change it would be like trying to comb your hair in a wind storm. Best to wait until the changes stop before attempting to make things orderly. Therefore, just let the winds of situations blow around you without reacting. Once Mercury turns direct, take a look at the information that is still around at that time and go about putting everything in order, while maintaining the fine art of flexibility.

From the Magi website.....a Heartbreak Transit occurs whenever transiting Saturn is making a square, opposition, quincunx, or contra-parallel to natal Chiron.

So, with tSaturn(r) at 5Leo40 and tChiron at 6Aqu30 today I suppose the Universal Heartbreak Clash is still in effect.....but I don't see any of those connections to your natals.....when tChiron gets to about 13 Aqua, batten down the hatches!!

So...basically, the Universal HeartBreak Transit will come back to visit us in May but as Zala mentioned above, if you have natal points that will be aspected by chiron (ex. like your natal Saturn), the Heartbreak Transit becomes more personal for you...regardless of the Universal transiting aspect!!

"It's that time again: Mercury turned retrograde on March 2, and will continue its apparent backward journey until the 25th. Better dust off all the standard Mercury-retrograde cautions: Back up computer files and go the extra mile to express yourself clearly. When the Communication Planet is in reverse, it can feel like productivity is in park! But no two retrogrades are the same -- and Mercury's latest move makes this a crucial time to strike new balance.

Mercury retrograde is always cause for introspection -- even more so as it takes place in Pisces, the imaginative final sign of the zodiac. The Fish swim through deep, dreamy waters, so pay close attention to your subconscious cues for the next few weeks. Reason may be particularly obscured, but as typical modes of communication become tricky, we'll all benefit from indulging those creative sides!

Of course, the planets love a good curveball: On March 4, Jupiter, ruler of values, also turns retrograde (until July 6). With Jupiter's social aspects highlighted -- and its typical grandeur toned down -- now's the time to realistically reevaluate your belief system: What's crucial to your role in the bigger social picture ... and what's holding you back?

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
